Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Updated CSPA

In 1999 a US citizen filed i-130 to bring her married daughter's family (married couple with a kid born in May 1984) . I am not sure when the priority date became current, my best guess is probably in 2006. The married couple went to an interview at a US consulate in July 2006, and moved to US in Dec 2006. The kid couldn't go to the interview and move with the parents because she became over 21. Can the kid benefit from the CSPA? If yes, what is the process for the kid to gain green card?

Re: Updated CSPA

The person who turned 21 may be able to apply for adjustment of status under the umbrella of CSPA. An application must be made including evidence that the person was under 21 when the original application was filed and that less than 365 days have elapsed since the priority date became current.
